In this part, you’ll take everything you’ve learned so far and apply it to a real client brief. It’s your chance to show your creativity, problem-solving skills, and professionalism by producing a structured consulting proposal.
You’ll define the problem, develop an innovative, AI-informed solution, and present your recommendations with clarity and confidence. By the end of the week, you’ll have a draft report and a presentation that demonstrate how you can think – and communicate – like a consultant.
By the end of this part, you’ll be able to structure a consulting proposal that clearly defines a client’s problem, presents evidence-based recommendations, and integrates AI tools effectively.
You’ll also learn how to create a professional report and a persuasive presentation that communicates your solution with clarity and impact.
Your deliverables in this part include a completed Business Challenge Poster, a 1,000-word written report outlining your consulting proposal, and a presentation that showcases your ideas clearly and creatively.
Both submittable pieces (written report and creative presentation) should highlight your understanding of the client’s challenge, your recommended solution, and how AI adds value to your approach.
